Wife has already said to do "what will make me happy". Still debating if this is in that same vein as when a woman tells you "Do whatever you want" or not. ;) But seriously, she's got my back either way, and one reason I do dearly love her. But yeah, it's fear/hatred of change. I was...

I checked the FAQ on the website I'm ordained through.... Apparently I can do whatever the hell I like with it. I'll just also say all those Catholic girls I was dating in the 90's... well... nevermind....

I'm working both for the money (@Mrs. Haus and are are financially comfortable and I was surprised how close we are to having enough to full on comfortably retire even though I'm only in my 50s) and for the fulfillment. But also I know I work because I do like what I do (Evangelizing...

Pretty sure it's Downton Abbey. I only know all this stuff because I had so many Catholic friends growing up, and dated so many girls going to a local Catholic college in the 90's.... Xmas STARTS on Xmas day and goes for 12 days after (ergo the reason for the song). Xmas decor shouldn't come...

When looking my usual modus operandi is to determine what I want to sink some money into, identify the ETFs that cover it effectively, compare their returns (usually with an eye on 1 and 3 year) , and the last step is to look at expense ratios if I end up in a dead heat tie.

OK. another "Haus Decor Note"... There are 4 decor items you can get in the BFA version of Darkshore. An Elven Brazier, A forsaken brazier, A Banshee Queen banner, and an elven light sconce. They drop off the rares. The rares are "kill once per week per character for loot".... EXCEPT for...

This seems to be normal for the Ozympic track. Essentially it slows your digestive metabolism a bit, which is the appetite suppressant side of it. For me it's always been about the math. If you have a smart watch (like I have a Samsung Galaxywatch) it can help you by giving you an estimate of...

Modern MS Sync isn't bad. The original versions weren't horrible, but were primitive. I still remember when we got my wife's Escort in 2013 I am tinkering with it and see it has a wifi access point built in for some reason. I turn it on, connect, and run nmap. Dear fucking God..... I can...

Oh yeah, we still had my employer based insurance, and they still billed a ton to it. But you end up paying a premium out of pocket for that heightened level of attention and dedication. When I said it added a hundred or two to the budget every month that was on top of having my insurance for...

Insurance DOESN'T cover it. If you're in the US, google up "Concierge Doctor" in your area. The idea is you pay a yearly "membership" to the practice essentially. What this allows is that instead of being like a normal PCP where the Dr needs to have thousands of patients to make the practice...

My caddy is metallic gunmetal gray, but only because I was going the CPO route so it limited my options. The option I did want (Kona brown leather interior with metallic blue exterior) was officially called the "unicorn build" because so few were made in the initial run.

I will say this. I do agree with @Cad in that everybody needs to be engaged and involved enough to be an active participant. if you have an IQ north of 120-ish you shouldn't have any problem understanding medical terminology and situations. Hell, when @Mrs. Haus had her kidney and other...

I'm in the bucket with @Onoes in terms of how well financially the rest of my family is doing relative to them having figured out that I'm doing pretty well relative to them. I only have one relative who even skirts around wanting to borrow money and asking, that's my brother in law. But one...

NGL, one thing which let me down a little in player housing is the "Last Architect". He had daily quests, each quest will give you a piece of decor. There are 50 quests in total he has. I thought that once you hit that 50 mark either he'd just start randomizing, or you'd get some last "big...
